Conversion to Automatic

This signal was planned to be converted to an automatic (from what?) on 2 August 1970:

But the work did not take place as planned:

and the signal was actually converted to automatic on 6 September of that year.

The signal is shown as already an automatic in the resignalling notice S.2489, so unknown what it was converted to an automatic from...

Upgrading to 4-aspect

The signal was re-fitted with a 4-aspect head at 04.50 on Monday 28 January 2002, although the top yellow was not brought into use.
